    I make a ‘mock up’ of the bag in paper exact to measurements so I can physically see how big the bag is and what fits in. It’s saved me from making some expensive mistakes and helped in my decision-making. ♥️

    I can in no way afford a Chanel bag and probably never will but I adore looking at and admiring them from afar and I loved watching this new video format. It’s the kind of questions you always have but never know who to ask. If I ever am in the position to buy a bag like the vintage chanels then I will definitely come back to this for reference! Xx

    It's always fun to go for things that people don't usually look for. About 6 or 7 years ago I bought two 90s Chanel coats really cheap on eBay, no-one else was bidding at all, but the vintage little black jackets get into huge bidding wars. I've since had to invest a few hundred pounds taking the amazing camel wool coat to have the black plastic fabric panels (thanks 90s Karl) replaced by Chanel, with a nice wool, but it was worth it for a coat I will have forever! It was helpful to have a friend who was from a rather wealthy family who knew his grandmothers Chanel clothes like the back of his hand, it was at his recommendation that I bought the coats, and trained my eye for the genuine!

    Best video! I love vintage bags. I wanted a black lamb skin Chanel Waller on a chain,but the prices kept going up and up. I went randomly,one day to a nearby village to meet my husband, who rode his bike there, for coffee. I was a bit early so I thought I'll look round a few shops. I went to a little vintage shop. They had a beautiful biege patent lady Dior bag. On the counter, without a price tag was the bag....the black Chanel lamb skin wallet on a chain....I was so excited and prepared to pay up to £800 for it....I asked how much and it was £400!! I'm so happy with it and wear it quite a lot. The other bag wasn't for sale, but I found a similar one on Designer exchange website for a really good price too. I also go a Dior wallet. It had little d rings inside so I bought a little chain and wear that like a WOC too.

    Chanel is my favourite brand, so classic, chic and timeless! I was gifted my first vintage Chanel bag 9 years ago when I was 26 and with practically daily use, it’s worn incredibly well. You really can feel the difference in quality by the weight, the feel of the leather and robustness of the bag. Fakes are much more plastic and flimsy. It’s my dream to gift my little baby niece my collection of vintage Chanel handbags when she’s older so I’ve been on the look out for places to purchase - I will be exploring all your recommendations - thank you, Fleur! By far one of the best & most informative vlogs I’ve seen in a while. So dreamy to see your collection, thanks for sharing! Xx

    I use my *preluxz* as a work bag and have had no issues at all. It’s a comfortable bag, fits a good amount and hadn’t lost its shape. With that being said, I also take care of all my bags and don’t carry a water bottle, pens, keys or anything that can damage the interior.

    Your vintage pieces are gorgeous and you gave great tips-research is definitely key. I agree with you about those two online sites. I wouldn’t patronize Vesteaire; they’re just ridiculously expensive. The preloved market is so huge. I’ve only been interested in it in recent years, but I’ve found some wonderful people who also sell luxury items on line. Julia Rose Boston is one and she sells luxury handbags and other amazing items at affordable prices; her Chanel pieces are amazing and more modern than vintage. She is London and Boston based. My tip for anyone is no matter where you purchase, authenticate and make sure your purchase is protected no matter what.

    Me too, I thought immediately about the stolen suitcase, I would be HEARTBROKEN if that happened to me because I tend to bring all my most favourite, top prized possessions on a trip. I find myself wondering about poor Fleur in the aftermath of having bet suitcase stolen. It occurred to be that poor Fleur got targeted by someone who knew her during the Dubai trip, or flew on same flight and knew her stuff is amazing to die for. Or it could have been a random employee who stole it, who knows.either way, it’s hugely upsetting, I’d be broken hearted. My heart goes out to Fleur

    eBay is actually a great way to shop for vintage designer! Especially shopping from a trusted Japanese seller, as the laws on buying/selling counterfeit goods in Japan are VERY strict. You will save a tonne of money going this route rather than over paying from Vestiare/TRR etc.

    I agree with Fleur. I collect vintage Armani and have found The Real Real a great source. Everything is authenticated, everything is in top notch quality, and everything is carefully packaged for shipment. I, also, do the two day shipment option, even though I live in the US. I have found perfectly preserved pieces from the early 1980s as well as pieces from a year ago, still with the original tag on them. I can’t recommend this company highly enough.

    I have a few vintage Chanel also. I love them. But I only buy caviar because I feel that they will survive a few more decades.
